Your work will directly promote and support GCSB and NZSIS visions by proactively identifying communications and media opportunities. This role will require you to effectively identify and manage any areas of risk.

Day to day responsibilities include a diverse range of tasks from creating stakeholder engagement plans and strategies, managing media requests and website content, to writing speeches for Directors, producing communication material and collateral, and managing key internal communications.

**What we offer**:

- Four weeks annual leave plus some days for your wellbeing
- Gym, Social clubs and events
- Medical Insurance and Vision Care package
- Professional development opportunities - we are committed to ongoing learning and continuous improvement

Join us and let us help you become Beyond Ordinary.
